did you use the duralina stuff? im thinking of it myself

im a mechanical guy..not so much with the carpentry/fiberglass etc.but it has to be done...a carpentry friend is like "np problem we will just rip all this out and replace it..couple hundred in materials" im thinking..ya right lol..thanks for the offer to help ill need it ..wish you succes...

thanks for the reply. i need to get some pics going..the more i look at the boat the more it needs lol...but she is a beauty. the onan looked like years ago the exhaust manifold split.the engines are 275hp fresh water cooled and were winterized and covered. i havent tried to run them yet.. ..ill try...

i dont have any pictures of the new tricabin yet i will get on it today...thanks

oh and does anyone know what is under the teak deck floor slats? nothing? plywood?

in my opinion potable water for the ocean or raw water for lake/river water....i think that salt water and waste/waste chemicals make for a stinky tank...i cant remember but they have a special check valve so the potable water doesnt get contaminated

330hp out of 350 nice

my boat club has a trophy that is handed out for the seasons best blunder....boy what stories!!!

it all depends on time and money......if it was me id do the conversion ....i would assume the hardest part will be getting power to it...not the mechanics of it...but it all depends on how your old one wants to come apart..either route u take

id check whatever doesnt cost money first....like carb openingthottle plate and choke opened...spark arrestor...timing/advance....check gauge by borrowing someones timing light that has rpms on it....is the bottom clean? ....

before u get into the props i would fix the trim tabs...ps by having the trims tabs down after planing off pushes the bow into the water and she starts to 'plow'.....please note that i dont kno ur boat but that is usually a characteristic of full trim down......by having her plowing creates a load.....

5 trys? i just back 'em down...but i cant figure out why no one want to keep there boat next to me though....
